results in a tabular form for every Profile segment at

each point in the mechanical system.

3. Profile Editor Enhancements

a. Ability to switch axes while Profile Editor is open

b. Ability to Copy and Paste move profiles between Axes within

the Profile Editor


c. The value of Time (Master) at the cursor position of the

Profile Editor Graph is displayed in a new „Time‟ label. This

label can be used to view the Time (Master) value in MU (or

any other time unit).

d. The maximum and minimum velocity constraints of an Index

segment can be specified for an Index move. Motion

Analyzer will adjust the index segment to restrict the

maximum and minimum velocities to within the applied limits.

If the user entered limits cannot be supported an error

message will be displayed in Profile Editor.


4. Profile Editor – Additional Segment Types

a. Index 2 3 Poly (Parabolic)

i. This move type is not supported in RSLogix 5000

natively. Motion Analyzer Profile Editor is used to

build the cam, and then it can be exported to the

RSLogix 5000 Cam editor in a MATC or MAPC

instruction.

b. Index Adjusted Sine (Cycloidal)






instruction.

c. Index 4 5 6 7 Polynomial ( 7th order Polynomial)





instruction.

d. Index Modified Trapezoidal





instruction.

5. Motor Selection Assistant

a. Select from a family of motors that can supply the speed and

torque required for your application when using the

Professional work flow.

6. Drive Selection Assistant


a. Select from a family of Drives that are compatible with the

Motor Family selected when using the Professional

workflow.

7. Axis and System Notes

a. Ability to add Axis Notes to each axis in the Motion Analyzer

System file. This is in addition to the System Notes that are

available.

8. Common Operating Conditions


a. Common Operating Conditions

b. Individual operating conditions for L10 Life Calculations and

Power Supply Energy Estimate calculations have been

moved to a common location.

9. License Control


a. Registration has been implemented for the Full version of

Motion Analyzer 5.000. If you do not wish to register you will

be able to use Motion Analyzer 5.000 in a Lite version, which

has limited functionality.

b. Registration can be accomplished via Online registration or

Offline (email) registration.

10. My Preferred Database

a. Mark Standard Database name has been changed to My

Preferred Database. Use this to predefine motors and drives

that are searched through for a solution.


11. SolidWorks Interface Enhancements

a. SolidWorks Model must be open in SolidWorks when

launching Simulation tools from Motion Analyzer.

b. SolidWorks Motion Study must be set up when launching

Simulation tools – gravity, SolidWorks motors, velocity and

force/torque results plots, and any additional external forces

must be defined.

c. For single axis or independent axis of motion, enter data into

Motion Analyzer axis, selecting “From SolidWorks” as your

load type. In the axis, you may reverse your motion profiles

in order to drive velocity in the correct direction on the

model, and again if necessary to make the returned data

align with the original defined motion profile.


d. For interdependent axis of motion, you must define profile

data and launch the SolidWorks Simulation tool from the

System View page. You may reverse your motion profile in

order to drive velocity in the correct direction on the model.


New Product Details

1. Kinetix 3 Drive products

2. MPAI Heavy Duty Electric Cylinders

3. Support for Kinetix 6200_6500, Kinetix 300 families in „Just Quote‟

mode.

4. Support for RDD, MPM, LDC and LDL Motor series in „Just Quote‟.

5. Support for MPAI and MPMA Actuator Series in „Just Quote‟


Other Changes

1. Allen-Bradley Integrated Gearmotors have been removed. They have been replaced by Integrated Gearmotors that include Wittenstein / Alpha TPM+ Integrated Gearmotors.

2. Program name has been changed from EzSize.exe to MotionAnalyzer.exe

3. Linear motor magnet track selection has been enhanced.

4. Triangular move type added to the Press Roll Feed template.

5. Brake Selection for Electric Cylinders have been updated.

6. Brake Rating Utilization for Motor

Brake Rating Utilization bar graph is added to Motor solution page.

This utilization bar graph will show the brake utilization of a Motor. If

the Brake rating of the selected is not available in Motion Analyzer

database a warning triangle and a message tooltip is displayed in

Motion Analyzer.


7. Lossless Force Velocity curves for Stages and Electric Cylinders

For stages and electric cylinder, on Solution tab, the Force Velocity

curve for Gross data (without losses) and with losses is available in

the “Force – Velocity” tab and in “Additional Information” in the

Actuator tab respectively. We recommend that you ignore this

lossless data unless you have a specific reason to reference it, as

this lossless curve does not correlate with the actual performance

of these stages and cylinders.


Known Limitations

1. PowerFlex drives are not supported by Tuning Simulation or in Bill of

Materials in this release.

2. For application sizing, selection of IAM in Power Supply/Accessories View will be updated in Bill of Materials only after user visits the "Configure Axis BOM" tab of the first axis.

3. Kinetix 300 and Kinetix 3 Tuning Simulation is not supported in this

release.

4. Encompass partner products including Wittenstein/Alpha, Stober, and

Apex gearboxes and Elwood/Getty Explosion Rated motors are not

supported in the Bill of Materials.

5. Consecutive Logix Linear elements are not allowed to be imported into the

Logix Elements in Motion Analyzer Profile Editor.

6. CM222 motors are only available as 460 VAC in this release.

7. When analyzing interdependent axis of motion using the SolidWorks

Simulation tool from the System View page, you may not reverse the

returned data in order to make it align with the original data as you can

within an axis.

8. Stacked Stages (MPMA series) is not supported in Professional Mode.

9. On launching the product details catalog on a Windows 7 64 bit machine,

the product catalog is opened to the first page as opposed to the page

containing the details of the selected product.

10. In Professional size, it is recommended to select User defined Motor

series (My Series) independently. Selecting “My Series” along with other

Motor Series results in some know issues in voltage selection in the

subsequent Drive Page.


SolidWorks Requirements

Static Inertia Import – SolidWorks 2009 and above SolidWorks Simulation – SolidWorks 2009 with SolidWorks Motion add-in On a Windows 7 machine, SolidWorks must be launched as an administrator (CTRL+SHIFT+Right Click -> Run as Administrator option on the shortcut) so as Motion Analyzer connects to the correct instance of SolidWorks.
